The Script adds a third and final Manila show on March 20, 2027 at MOA Arena after selling out two dates for their Man in the Arena Tour.
Due to overwhelming demand, multi-awarded and platinum-selling Irish band The Script confirms a third and final Manila show on March 20, 2027 (Saturday) for their Man in the Arena Tour.
The band adds this date after the first two shows on March 18 and 19, 2027 at SM Mall of Asia Arena sell out quickly. Wilbros Live and Midas Promotions present the concerts. Tickets go on sale on June 13 at 10 AM via SMTickets.com and SM Tickets outlets nationwide.
Additionally, the announcement follows strong anticipation from Filipino fans, who quickly filled both initial concert dates. The band’s decision reflects the high demand and continued support from their Manila audience. Moreover, the added show gives more fans a chance to experience the tour live in an arena setting.
Furthermore, frontman Danny O’Donoghue recently visits Manila ahead of the tour rollout. He reconnects with local fans and promotes the upcoming world tour. To add, he also records a special performance video for the hit song “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” on the streets of Manila. This moment highlights the band’s long-standing relationship with their Filipino listeners and their appreciation for the city’s energy.
In addition, the Man in the Arena Tour showcases both classic hits and new material. Fans can expect performances of popular songs such as “Hall of Fame,” “Breakeven,” “Superheroes,” “For The First Time,” and “If You Could See Me Now.” Moreover, the setlist includes tracks from the upcoming album The User’s Guide To Being Human, scheduled for release on August 14, 2026.
The album follows Satellites (2024), which reflects a deeply personal period for the band. It explores frontman Danny O’Donoghue’s grief after the passing of bandmate Mark Sheehan in 2023. The group later honors Sheehan during their global arena performances, making each show more meaningful for both the band and fans.
Moreover, the tour’s title track “Man in the Arena” carries a bold, arena-ready sound with strong R&B influences. It builds toward a powerful chorus designed for large crowds. Additionally, its lyrics draw inspiration from Theodore Roosevelt’s famous speech about courage, effort, and resilience. Danny O’Donoghue explains that the message celebrates those who step forward despite criticism and uncertainty, rather than those who simply observe from the sidelines.
Fans can grab tickets on June 13 at 10 AM via SMTickets.com and SM Tickets outlets nationwide to catch The Script live in Manila.
